Testimonials

Nedra Deadwyler is a brilliant thinker, speaker, writer, and designer. I had the pleasure of working with Nedra over the course of several years as part of The Antiracist Farmers Market Toolkit Working Group. This was a complex and multi-pronged project in which Nedra led research and writing but also offered her skills as a facilitator, presenter, and designer. Nedra is a joy to work with—creative, responsive, and thoughtful while being willing to pause, reflect, and change directions when needed. She brings her deep engagements with place and history to every collaboration and consciousness of and confidence in her partners and community members that help others believe in themselves and the work they are doing together.

Nedra is thoughtful, intentional, and extremely knowledgeable. She is deeply rooted in preserving community well-being, creating spaces of belonging, and elevating historical context. Her guidance and perspective on the Anti-Racist Farmers Market Toolkit made the project well-rounded, resonating with all the fields of study that interlaced with creating a robust, equitable food system.
